In a time where prices are skyrocketing, one of the biggest blows to our wallets is undoubtedly food.
Recently, a Malaysian woman shared her disbelief after being charged RM5 for a simple meal consisting of just white rice and a side of green vegetables.
This eye-opening experience was posted in the Subang Jaya and USJ Food Discovery Facebook group, where she shared a picture of her meal along with a caption that invited members to guess the price of her modest dish.
After the guesses rolled in, she revealed the price to be RM5.
Curious about the community’s thoughts, she asked, “Is this the normal price? Just wondering cause I rarely dabao mix rice.”
According to the woman, the incident occurred at a restaurant in Subang Jaya.
Her post quickly gained traction, with netizens jumping in to share their own experiences and opinions on whether RM5 was a reasonable price for such a simple meal.
Mixed Reactions from Netizens
Some netizens were shocked by the price and felt it was far too high for such a basic meal.
“RM5 is not reasonable, should be RM3.50.”
“Used to dabao like this in Kota Damansara, cost me about RM3.”
However, some argued that the price was fair given the current economic situation.
“Yeah… reasonable… I also guessed RM5.”
“Standard price if you break it down. Veggie for RM3 and RM2 for the rice.”
As food prices continue to rise, it seems that even a simple plate of rice and vegetables can spark debate.
So, what’s your take on this? Do you think RM5 is a fair price, or is it a bit much for what’s on the plate?
